My Story.

I’m an accomplished graphic designer with over a decade of experience and a deep knowledge of the design industry. My expertise lies in design fundamentals, including typography, composition, layout, and color selection. I’ve proven success in project management, team leadership, and schedule coordination. Fluent in multiple design programs, I’m a detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills, capable of handling multiple projects simultaneously with high accuracy.

I hold a BFA in Digital Art, a BA in Graphic Design, and a minor in e-Business from the University of West Florida, along with an MFA in Graphic Design and Visual Experience from the Savannah College of Art and Design.

 

Currently, I work as a graphic designer for the Florida Department of Health in Escambia County in Pensacola, Florida, and serve as an adjunct instructor at the University of West Florida, teaching Graphic Design and Digital Art. I’m passionate about all forms of design, photography, collecting vintage cameras, out-of-the-box thinking, indoor gardening, and enjoying a really good coffee.

My photographic works examine everyday objects from unique perspectives, exploring the relationship between photography and painting through mixed media. I’m also undertaking a personal family introspective to investigate the legacy I leave through heredity. My work aims to redefine how the everyday is seen, exposing the beauty in commonly overlooked things.
